Whenever I think of "Go West" I think not only of the Village People's original, but about the clip below. It's labeled "Official Music Video" but I think it's an appearance on German TV just before Victor Willis quit as lead singer. David "Scar" Hodo is missing his hard hat (and his shades) in it, so you know something strange has taken place before shooting. It may well have involved Randy "Cowboy" Jones who looks like he's been raising his customary heck someplace, even more than usual. Pretty funny stuff.

Funny clip indeed, I like to mock people dressed like clowns, ha! but that version blew, not as catchy as the cover I talked of.

Back to track. That's very interesting, I love sketches. The rabbit/ dragon one is entertaining.

"Want some sugar?" type of songs: I'd choose neither, tbh:

Bobby Vee "Take Good Care"

vs.

The Ronettes "When I Saw"

Short notice: the cat you see to the left is the best. Not counting your indoor cat who might have habit sitting at your left side when you post at SmileySmile.

I'm probably one of the few Americans in my age group to watch neither of these programs. But I heard those theme songs a lot, particularly the Brady Bunch one.

I prefer the Partridge Family theme song. It's more interesting musically, and it harkens back to the inspiration for the show, the Cowsills.

"(Brian) got into this really touching music with songs like 'In My Room', and 'Good Vibrations' was amazing. The melodies are so beautiful, almost perfect. I began to realize he was one of the most gifted writers of our generation." - Paul Simon

Decided to pick 2 favorites from my wild days in the mid 80s. They are great in your face songs. If you are unable to find these online I'll try to get to a computer to post links, but assume that they should be easy to find as they were hits.

The songs:In the Middle of the Road - The PretendersWould I Lie to You? - The Eurythmics

Chrissie Hynde and Annie Lennox were both in top form.

Hollies song is good but Otis Redding's song is iconic and one of my favorites. I remember feeling sad hearing the song back then since Redding was killed in a plane crash shortly after recording it.
